I appreciate anything that will pull back! I often go out with UL rods/fly rods to target bluegill, perch etc. A fat crappie on UL tackle is enough to make anybody see the light IMHO.
I panfish all the time in my backyard on the brook that runs through there. Crappie, perch, and occasionally some of the smallest bass you can imagine and once this year a pretty big one about 2lbs. It's great at night after work to go down there and relax.
Went to Tispaquin Pond on Monday and there was a lot of Blue Gil Bull Heads and crappy under a pound my biggest was 96oz, my son was able to land 1 bass for 2lb30oz. Was our first time there had a good day.
